About Me 
Inês Almeida has a degree in Psychology, with specialization in Psychological Assessment, Counselling, and Rehabilitation. The final year concerned experimental studies with clinical populations in the field of Neuropsychology (measures: behaviour; psychological assessment tools). Her PhD was done in the field of Health Sciences - Biomedical Sciences. The thesis concerned studies in basic affective neuroscience using experimental paradigms (measures: behaviour; psychophysiology SCR/EDA; functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI). In later years, she worked in the interconnected fields of psychology and neuroscience, using behavioural, psychological assessment and brain imaging measures to understand contextual factors (affective, cognitive) modulating decision-making. Throughout her career she has worked both with healthy and clinical populations (e.g. Parkinson's disease; Hungtington's disease; fornix lesion case). She has contributed with scientific publications, public datasets, preprints, preregistrations, as well as several science communication and outreach activities for school’s students and the public in general. She also contributed as lecturer in two summer schools and one training program. She has now moved to meta-research to contribute towards better research practices, change in research culture (responsible, reproducible research), and adoption of new indicators to assess quality of diverse outputs of the research lifecycle. She has invested in Open Science, training (Eurodoc Open Science Ambassador training; International Network of Open Science & Open Scholarship Communities Incubator Program) to bring open science awareness and practices to her research activities, but also to collaborate in the implementation of open science training programs in the Univ Coimbra (Portugal). She was involved in local initiatives such as the PostDocs@UC (local initiative), participating in the organization of several workshops and events, and in national and international associations such as the Portuguese Association of Fellowship holders (ABIC) and the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers (Eurodoc) to improve scientific practices and employment conditions for researchers, locally, nationally and across Europe. She embraces open research principles and practices towards research integrity, reproducibility and quality of research. She aims to contribute to scholar/research cultural change, improving research assessment.
